1 Year!

Queridos todos,

This week has been pretty fun. Elder half brother Acuña is really fun to serve with. He wasn't allowed to speak English in his house growing up so he wouldn't forget Spanish. It is hard to believe that I am about to turn 1. I feel so middle aged, I think I am having a midlife crisis. I think I am going to buy a Harley and ride across the country. I have yet to decide. We are still riding bikes a little bit and Elder Waldorf and I did get to 200 miles before he left.

So this week was okay work wise, we tracked all day on Thursday, but it was worth it because in the last 30 minutes before dinner, we knocked on a door and they invited us in. Apparently, the guy was less active. He got baptized about four years ago and moved here. He's living with his girlfriend who's also interested. So we set another appointment to come back in a week since we only had 30 minutes. We also invited them to go to church this week. I hope they come.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here in this area. I've already tracked like every house. I've been hoping that this is my last transfer here, but we have another 5 weeks in this transfer anyway, so it really doesn't matter too much.
